24 - 25 weeks

I'm behind on my pictures and updates. These are from our trip to Ontario. I've gained a total of 21 pounds now, still testing my blood sugar levels, baby is kicking lots, especially in the morning and I'm finding walks at night help my restless legs relax when I get into bed. 

One of my favourite pictures 23.5 weeks in Grand Bend. 

24 weeks in Bancroft. 

25 weeks and 2 days home at last!! 

23 weeks

Baby is growing!!

I have no major cravings, just hungry lots. 

I have to take my heartburn medication regularly or I notice it starting right away. 

Testing my sugar is driving me crazy, but my numbers have all came back pretty well normal which is awesome!

I've gained 19 pounds now. 

I'm looking forward to the rest of our holidays with family and then relaxing at home with our dogs for August!! 

Time is traveling quickly, but I'm also enjoying the pregnancy as much as I can. 

22 weeks

What a whirlwind of a week!! School ended, I forgot to take a picture and I had my glucose test and last prenatal appointment before flying to Ontario. My glucose test came back with a result of 8.6, normal is under 7.7. I went back Friday to do another one and thank goodness it came back 7.2. I'm tracking my sugar with a meter for the three week trip in Ontario, and then bringing the results back to my dr when we return. Other than that, I'm measuring on track for my due date now and the heart beat was 148 at my appointment. Baby is moving lots now, and I'm becoming more uncomfortable due to how low baby is sitting. I don't really have any specific cravings, and my weight was exactly 150 at my appointment (I've gained 15 pounds so far). Now we're enjoying the summer holidays and have been relaxing with my family.

Cravings: Fruit and milk chocolate
How I've Used My Time: Finishing the school year, practicing piano and getting ready to head to Ontario next Sunday!!!
Other Facts:

- My hips are getting really stiff at night, so they're painful in the morning

20 weeks!!!

Tuesday, June 18 (20w, 3d)

Well our little one is after his/her momma's heart - right on track for the due date given to us! My belly is just measuring bigger than the weeks I'm at.

Loved our ultra sound today as well! We were so lucky to have a co-operating baby, so we got some nice pictures. And we didn't find out what we were having - excited for the surprise in October/November.

Cravings: Fruit and veggies and jello
How I've Used My Time: Busy marking to finish off the school year, laying on the couch at night and feeling baby move lots!
Other Facts:
- I've gained a total of 12 pounds so far.
- We fly to Ontario in less than 2 weeks - so excited!!!!
- I'm feeling great! Not sleeping so well though, hopefully I can find a more comfortable way to make it easier.

19 or 20 weeks?!

Saturday, June 8

When we first went to the doctors when we were pregnant, the due date given to us was October 24. Our first ultra sound indicated baby is due November 2, so that's the day we went with. After our ultra sound in the hospital and the prenatal appointment this past week, baby is measuring a week ahead! EDD is October 26. We will wait until our 20 week ultra sound on June 18 to know for sure.

18 Weeks

Saturday, June 1

Baby Fransky is growing!!

Cravings: Fruit and veggies. I also have been craving pepsi with ice, I try not to drink too much of it, but especially after work it tends to taste amazing!
How I've Used My Time: Busy marking to finish off the school year! My marks are due June 14, so I've been busy wrapping everything up in my classroom that needs to be done. We also have been regularly getting items we've ordered in the mail, so the nursery is slowly coming together!
Other Facts:
- I've gained a total of 9 pounds so far.
- Scott claims it's a baby girl and feels she'll be born in October. I've had a gut feeling it's a boy from the beginning, but I can't make my claim 100% yet.
- We had a bit of a scare last week as I was having lots of pain, but we had an ultrasound and baby is doing great! I had a stomach infection, and antibiotics cleared it up.  Baby was measuring just over 7 ounces, which puts him/her almost 3 weeks ahead for weight! All in all, they claim baby is about 5 days ahead when measurements are all combined. I'm happy baby has a larger weight, it means baby is growing. Baby also had a heart rate in the low 150's.
- We are so looking forward to summer, the count down is on now that June has arrived. We can't wait to be with our families this summer.
- Thursday is my next prenatal appointment, and we're 2 weeks away from our 20 week ultrasound!
